Question of the Day

Comment: It is a good idea.. Especially the
infection & disease plan. from hamilton,ohio by lynn

Comment: Parental rights doesn't always mean
they have best interest in the child or
themselves. from Sidney Ohio by Carolyn

Comment: I don't agree because it should
be peoples rights to choose how
they want their body to look
with piercings and tattoos and
nowadays people are piercing
everything and its their right
..plus buissness might go down
a bit if tattoo people can't
also their gona be more
problems people will try to
pierce their self's then from dayton,ohio by chrissy

Comment: What matter is it of your to
tell the parent what his or her
child can pierce. They have
taken enough rights from
people. It time to stop
infringing on people right.
Mind your own business from Thompson by Hazel

Comment: I absolutely agree with the new rules! Kids shouldn't be allowed to make these decisions until they are 18 anyway. As for the new disease and infection regulations go this is far too long in coming. However, these new rules aren't going to stop the backyard tattoo artists and they are beginning to far outnumber the ones that are regulated! from Dayton, OH by Holly

Comment: Body modifications last a
lifetime, even with peircings,
scaring can happen, and teens
don't like to think about what
can happen to their bodies if
things go wrong. Some decisions
really need to wait until
you're 18. from Waynesville by Brittany

Comment: The one getting the piercing or tattoo
should be able to get it where ever
they want when they want (with
parent approval) and be able to get
what ever kind of tattoo or piercing
and how many they want. There are
jobs that won't let you have certain
piercings or want little to no tattoos at
all but since when has a tattoo or
piercing determined our education or
how well we do on that job? I could
be completly covered in tattoos and
have ear rings or gauges and be
better or have more experience than
most to all others in the job that I put
an application in fore but due to MY
discussion of wanting tattoos they
more than likely will not hire
me..basically there should be less
strict rules on tattoos and piercings from Dayton,Ohio by Will

Comment: I personally think that a good tattoo
shop would be using these "rules"
anyways. It's more so common sense... from Eaton ohio by Dakota Morris

Comment: I agree with the infection contorl
plan but I disagree with the minors
only being able to get certain areas
pierced. I think when parent
conscent then it should be legal. from Lakeview, ohio by cheyenna

Comment: I think if you want something pierced
you should have the choice to do it.
And if a parent says yes their kid can
get a piercing or tattoo, it should be
their choice. Maybe a tattoo is for
someone who died or someone
fighting some kind of disease like
cancer. from Dayton Ohio by Missy

Comment: Piercing guns are not healthy, make it
easier for pierced areas to become
infected, and most who use them are
not trained. If it were my decision, I
would ban piercing guns altogether. by Shelby

Comment: More money for State hugh. They will make all there rules to benfit there pockets . They are protecting no one but selfs from Bradford Ohio by Patty

Comment: Professional shops already take
action in contamination control. They
take blood born pathogens training
and get a certification. However
getting the certificate itself is rather
easy. From
Experience my boss has had to tell
the health inspector what to look for
and what precautions should be in
affect at a shop or parlor. I personally
think that since anybody can throw
together a shop and and call
themselves "professionals" cities
should regulate and possibly just like
a liquor license, there should be
some kind of approval to be able to
open up a shop. When it comes to
getting certified, hair dressers have to
renew their license every 2 years. If
we had more regulation making it
harder for just any one to tattoo, it
could control diseases, keep minors
from getting tattoos from out of their
friends' house, and over all the
quality of tattoos may rise amongst
the public because anyone who is
serious about their career and
artwork will meet the standards and
requirements with out any hesitation. from Dayton Ohio by Cortney

Comment: I don't think these changes are
enough. I believe there should
be a law to govern the quality
of every tattoo artist work.
There are just too many
unskilled artist putting out
bad tattoos. from Tipp City by Shawn

Comment: I agree with the disease prevention
program however I don't think the
state should have the authority to
determine where the piercing gun is
used or to supersede parents
authority over their own children. from Cincinnati, OH by Nick

Comment: Not the piercing part. from wc oh by Ronelle

Comment: I think that's the dumbest thing ever
changing the thing especially for
piercings. It is so stupid. In today's
society, there are so many teenagers
that want to get piercings done. I'm
sorry but that is rediculous. Plus ,
teenagers are going to eventually do
it on their own and they can die and
get diseases doing that. So seriously,
think about it. Would you rather have
it done professionally to a minor or
have that minor end up with a nasty
disease and possibly dead? from Urbana Ohio by Jade

Comment: We should be able to do what
ever we want to our bodies we
are the WWE ones who have to
live with it not you. from miamisburg ohio by monique

Comment: People should be able to do what
they want with their bodies no
matter what even with parents
approval. from Kettering/ Oh by Mikayla

Comment: I think they should make it illegal to tattoo out of your house, or garage also. If they haven't already! from Piqua, OHs by Katie
